introductions

[marycatelli]

I introduced seven characters into a story before a time gap.  En mass, they all arrived at once.

Then, after the time gap, the heroine knew their names.

Revising time:  put the names in before the gap.   Also put in notes about their characters so there are some hints to tell them apart besides the names.  

Real fun revising and realizing that one of the seven had been left out of the naming. . . .
